Gloves

[Phil Yearout]

These gloves were used as a prop in a recent DGJ article. I would like to have a pair but haven't been able to find anything similar anywhere. I suppose they could be vintage, but they have velcro on them so I doubt they're TOO old. Just wondering if anyone has a source; thanks...

Looks like leather “driving gloves” to me.

[Andrew Sacco]

Phil I got you covered. I have two pairs, when they were on sale for $25. I am a medium and will sell one for what I paid, unused, or go buy new if you need a different size. They are worth more than what he charges I believe. There's a finger cutout so when you fold the index back your bare finger is used. Supple and nice for the price.

Should be noted they're a dark brown in a folding gift box, that photo is awful.

Here's mine

Thanks Andy! PM sent.

I've been cutting the trigger finger off of driving and golf gloves for years, but none of them have ever kept my hands or fingers warm. Still looking after all those years.

Best deal I ever found for shooting gloves: Go to your nearest motorcycle / leather head shop dealer and ask for their "summer weight" driving gloves. I found them at a local motorcycle clothing store (no bikes for sale) for $14 a pair. Black perforated fingers and palm, REAL LEATHER, velcro wrist closures. Quite the bargain compared to branded chi-chi types at $22- 50 Pair. Nothing like them for an ice-cold steering wheel setting out for the range on a winter morning or, once there, hefting a CHE 28- ga with a splinter forend.

It’s a thing for me; can’t do black :).

Funny. Same for me Bill. Buy a nice pair of gloves and snip the 👉 off. So far I've managed to do it without my finger in the glove.

thegunglove.com. I buy the summer weight and snip the trigger finger. Best shooting gloves I’ve ever had.

[Andrew Sacco]

There isn't a comfortable light glove that will keep you warm, I'm convinced of it. I have the regular and summer weight gunglove. Meh. Not sold, for me at least. My solution is a glove you think you look cool in and electric hand warmers in your pockets. Tucking your hands in there between stations even without gloves is magic. Invest $50 in hand warmers and you're good. But gloves do help grip in hot nasty sweaty weather for me. I'm not sure Phil was asking about keeping warm rather he wants to look like a stud.

I just snipped the end off a new pair a month or so ago. I like them and I use hand warmers like Andy referred to.

[Dave Noreen]

When it is so cold I need a glove on my trigger hand, I'm not there!!

Having lost part of a finger on my left hand, the circulation in that finger isn't great so I do wear a thin glove on that hand.

[Phil Yearout]

Andy is closer than he probably thinks :rotf:. There ain't a glove out there that you can shoot in that'll keep your hands warm; I've got a box full to prove it, and I've given up looking for one. But I do like the look of those and basically just want a pair. Might even use them now and then.

[William Davis]

Not pretty but Foot Joys Black Rain golf glove is a practical option. Sized & stretchy try on at the golf shop for good tight fit. I keep a pair in my shooting bag with the trigger finger cut off. Used most as barrel hand alone adding the trigger glove cold days. Think they are under $ 20 pair.

Better looking gloves Russell Moccasin had nice shooting gloves fit is loose on me no way to try before buying rarely used, don’t know if the new owners will continue them. Have a pair of nice English shooting gloves with trigger finger in or out option but don’t use them much shooting. Good cold weather & you can answer the phone one fingered. Tighter fit than the Russell’s & could try them on, a must. Fairlows of Pall Mall London.

Clay targets my self imposed limit Is 50 degrees dark windy day. 40 bright & calm. Had enough cold, no more.

So Kevin tell us about this CHE 28 gauge!:)

[Bill Murphy]

Gotcha! Maybe K will tell you about the Vincent Black Shadow that he rides to the range.

[Kevin McCormack]

Sorry, but the CHE 28 was not mine; just liked to complain about cold barrels on frosty mornings. Never rode a motorcycle but my younger brother's 899 Ducati got me thinking a few years ago.....

[Mike Koneski]

The very few times I wear gloves to shoot in colder weather, I use Mechanix gloves. They are light and don't restrict dexterity or prevent me from feeling the trigger. Same gloves I wear if I need them to hunt birds.

I truely hate agreeing with you but I do the same . Cutting the trigger finger off to where it would be back to the second knuckle . And nope they don’t keep your hands warm .

[CraigThompson]

Since I usually loose the right hand glove I’ve taken to using deerskin gloves I buy at Tractor Supply usually just wearing the left glove . Then my trigger hands uncovered . Usually if I think it’ll be cold I’ve got hand warmer/s in a pocket or two .

[Stan Hillis]

I have a pair of these for cold afternoons quail hunting, busting briars, etc. I much prefer no gloves at all, but these are really high quality, and supple. Made of sheepskin. Orvis gear is not cheap, but in over 20 years of using their clothing and gear i have never once been disappointed in a purchase. Quality is always top notch.

The best to keep your hands warm is one of those muffs that straps around your waist. You have to be really good to pull your hands out and close your gun and shoot a bird when it flushes : )

[Chris Pope]

Andy- I looked at them on the CSMC website. Do they run true to size?

Chris, every pair of gloves I've worn that fit are a medium. The medium from CSM run big on me so I'd say they're a medium plus. If anyone wonders, the perfect fit for me is a GunGlove size 9.5 regular weight, I just don't care for the glove.

[Daryl Corona]

I wear gloves for all my shooting. Either golf or batting gloves, mechanics gloves for clay shooting and deerskin gloves from HD, Lowes or Tractor Supply to hunt with. I find that if I buy the deerskin gloves that are on the tight side they will stretch to conform nicely to hunt with and protect my hands and gun. Sometimes I will have to try on every pair on the rack to find one that is just right.

I have a recently remodeled thumb that also has a circulation issue requiring a warmer solution. I’ve never cared for hand warmers but I’m warming up to
The idea. See what I did there? 😂

This thread was started to find a source fr a particular pair of gloves, but since it has morphed into a discussion about keeping one's hands warm, here's a trick my nephew turned me one to on out last SD trip. Get you some of these...

and a pair of these...

put a heatpack on the inside of your wrist (where most of the bloodflow is) and hold it there with a wristband. I was skeptical but it works!

Here’s a great lightweight, waterproof, wind proof glove that really keeps your hands warm.

The best shooting gloves for double guns are made by" GripSwell "they are not inexpensive, but are made for the SxS shooter with double leather in the barrel hans and a padded palmswell on the grip hand. They do absorb some recoil, and the heat of the barrels is definitely reduced. I have several pair! They have a web site! They come in Left or right!

Jim,
I totally agree with you on Gripswell gloves. I was under the impression that they were out of business.

I don't plan on ordering but it appears they are still available on line.

[Andrew Sacco]

I had two pair of Gripswell and both tore in different places after one season of clays. Otherwise they are very nice.

[Jim Thynne]

Dang, I've had mine to Argentina twice, and they are still hanging in there!

[Phil Yearout]

Back to my original query. I contacted Tom Archer, author of the article where the gloves were pictured. He bought them back in the 80's and couldn't remember who the maker was. Then casting about on the web I discovered that Purdey offers a pair that look almost identical. Around $300 by the time I'd get them here. That's more than I paid for my first double gun, so I decided I didn't need them that badly :).

[Mike Franzen]

Phil if you watch eBay I bet you would find something very similar.
